- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Bobby, is something the matter?
- Bobby Ewing: Yes.
- [hands over her drink]
- Bobby Ewing: Frankly, I'm concerned about Daddy's will.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: The will?
- Bobby Ewing: Mm-hmm. When that hearing is over, the will's gonna be opened. And I'm concerned about why Daddy had it sealed in the first place.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Well, aren't most wills sealed?
- Bobby Ewing: No. Not unless you have something you're trying to hide.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: What would Jock have to hide from his family?
- [her arm goes around Bobby's neck]
- Bobby Ewing: [sighs] Oh, I don't know, honey. Maybe I'm wrong. But I'll tell you one thing I do know. That will is gonna determine who finally owns Ewing Oil. And I have a terrible feeling it's gonna be J.R.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Come on. That's not necessarily so.
- Bobby Ewing: [takes sip of his drink, shakes his head] If that happens, honey... If Daddy gave him back the company, then you and I are gonna get out of here.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Bobby!
- Bobby Ewing: I'm not gonna sit around and watch him take over again.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Aren't you jumping the gun just a little?
- Bobby Ewing: Pam, I can run Ewing Oil. I proved it. I didn't use to want to, but now, damn it, I do.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Hey, wait a minute.
- [sits down next to Bobby, stroking his face and hair]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Why are you getting so worked up over something that'll probably never happen? Hmm? Wait until we know something for sure.
- Bobby Ewing: Okay. You're right.
- [kisses her hand, and they kiss]
- Afton Cooper: Cliff thinks J.R. is going to get his old job back at Ewing Oil.
- [nods]
- Rebecca Barnes Wentworth: Is that true?
- Bobby Ewing: It's possible, I suppose.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Excuse me, but can't anybody think of anything to talk about besides J.R.?
- Cliff Barnes: I can't.
- Rebecca Barnes Wentworth: Neither can I. And if J.R. is going to take over Ewing Oil again... as far as I'm concerned, it's all-out war.
- Cliff Barnes: [light-hearted tone] Mama... you're vengeful!
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Well, if that's all you're gonna talk about, I'll leave.
- [rises, starts leaving]
- Rebecca Barnes Wentworth: Pam, wait!
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Bobby, I'd like to go.
- Rebecca Barnes Wentworth: Please, darling...
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: There's no sense in staying.
- Rebecca Barnes Wentworth: Of course there is. Come on, now, sit down.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: You know, I thought for once we could all have a nice, quiet dinner together. And all you can do is talk about J.R. and revenge. Now, what's the point?
- Rebecca Barnes Wentworth: Sit down. We'll change the subject.
- [Pamela stands considering]
- Rebecca Barnes Wentworth: Please!
- [Pamela sits down again]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Lucy, I know how you must feel, but what's done is done. You can't change some things.
- Lucy Ewing Cooper: You don't know how I feel.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: I know how the abortion affected you... but moping around Southfork is not gonna make it better.
- Lucy Ewing Cooper: [snidely] I'm not exactly up to partying yet.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Well, nobody's asking you to party. You might think about going back to work, though.
- Lucy Ewing Cooper: Work?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Why not? Call your agent. Get something done. You can't just sit around like this.
- Lucy Ewing Cooper: I'm not ready to go back to work yet.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Yes, you are. You've just got to do it. And if you can't, maybe you should get some help.
- Lucy Ewing Cooper: I don't need a psychiatrist.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Well, then, prove it. Get up! Get out of that nightgown! Get out of this room! Join the world of the living again!
